SVN, Fix “Can’t convert string from ‘UTF-8′ to native encoding:”
Well getting back from vacation I tried to update one of my subversion repositories, and I were once more met with the “Can’t convert string from ‘UTF-8′ to native encoding:” , luckily it is easily fixed. This problem is caused by filename containing “special” characters (in my case Swedish ÅÄÖ).
